why there are elites who support du30?

di niyo maexplain?

it's something called elite overproduction

and that precedes the collapse of societies

One recurring pattern Turchin noticed: something he calls “elite overproduction.”

This happens when a society’s ruling class grows faster than the number of rulers it needs. (For Turchin, “elite” seems to mean not just political leaders but all those managing companies, universities and other large social institutions.)

too many elites?

yes

One way for a ruling class to grow is biologically—think of Saudi Arabia, where princes and princesses are born faster than royal roles can be created for them. In the United States, elites overproduce themselves through economic and educational upward mobility: More and more people get rich, and more and more get educated. Neither of these sounds bad on its own. Don’t we want everyone to be rich and educated?

what can happen?

The problems begin when money and Harvard degrees become like royal titles in Saudi Arabia. If lots of people have them, but only some have real power, the ones who don’t have power eventually turn on the ones who do…

this

Elite jobs do not multiply as fast as elites do. There are still only 100 Senate seats, but more people than ever have enough money or degrees to think they should be running the country.

this

“You have a situation now where there are many more elites fighting for the same position, and some portion of them will convert to counter-elites,” Turchin said.

this

The excess elites become counter-elites, who then try to make alliances with the lower classes that usually don’t work out.

the endgame

The final trigger of impending collapse, Turchin says, tends to be state insolvency. At some point rising insecurity becomes expensive.

The elites have to pacify unhappy citizens with handouts and freebies—and when these run out, they have to police dissent and oppress people.

Eventually the state exhausts all short-term solutions, and what was heretofore a coherent civilization disintegrates.

get it?

Interesting theory, first time I’ve read about it

On the other hand, how do you counter it?

Rapid economic expansion?

There is a new script circulating among the immoral paid hacks of the Duterte administration. These are the same paid hacks who I see some of my bereft of brains military acquaintances follow and whose drivel they had been sharing during the height of the red tagging campaign. This new script is an outrageous lie that Noynoy was intentionally left to die. There really is no evil greater than the Duterte administration and its supporters in this country we call home. For them to stoop to this level of disgusting falsehood is just a mirror of how putrid their hearts and souls are. I thought that treachery was the lowest that they could go, but to attack the grieving sisters and insinuate that they just left their brother to die has the mark of Satan branded all over these abominations of Duterte.

I thought he was petty and vindictive during the early days of his presidency, blaming the Arroyo admin for this and that but heck, here comes his successor who would be turn out to be much worse than Pnoy. Pnoy can be faulted for certain things, but he will be remembered for having the cojones to stand up to China's aggressiveness in the WPS, something which we cannot say about his successor. His decision to run in 2010 was a good thing, otherwise we would have witnessed an ex-con return to the Palace.

Noynoy inherited a govt with empty coffer, that sorry state contributed to exacerbation of problems he faced early on his term

the luneta hostage failed due to the bad state of the police lacking equipments that's why he upgraded their pistols from beretta to glock among others

The good thing I see which glory did that helped noynoy a lot was to raise VAT to 12%. This move by his predecessor helped noynoy recover from an empty coffer when he assumed the presidency. With judicious utilization of funds he was able to revive the modernization of the armed forces. Now the airforce have more cargo planes, fighter jets FA50 (served marawi conflict well) and helicopters (2nd hand huey). The navy now have more ships, a mix of brand new and refurbished retired cutters from the US (2nd hand are stop gap measures until the brand new arrives). In stark contrast Ramos funded his AFP modernization by selling part of villamor airbase (resorts world now) and fort bonifacio (BGC now) and yet didnt deliver as much as noynoy did. Noy didnt even sell a military camp

He upgraded the AFP not only due to chinese aggression but also due to failure to resupply areas devastated by Yolanda. They may have prepositioned supplies ahead of the storm but it was all wiped out when the storm passed. Hence, the need to resupply the badly hit areas but then again he inherited an I'll equipped air force. More helicopters and cargo plane could have helped mitigate the circumstances by air lifting supplies immediately after the storm, unfortunately for him that was not the case. Only upon the arrival of the US navy did the much needed supplies trickled in.

He was able to deliver health cards to elderly for free and mendicants by amending the sin tax law. The new sin tax law funded this healthcare reform, Phil health memberships for free for the poorest of the poor and elders. The same taxation reform made philhealth swell with funding which was exploited by the current leaders of philhealth with all the scandals that rocked that agency under Duterte regime

Other programs by his predecessor discontinued due to corruption was the north rail coz in their review it will cost the govt 800 million per kilometer

He didnt stop all glorys project though, he continued the pantawid pamilya program and expanded its beneficiaries

He reformed the education system with K12 program to give pinoy graduates a fighting chance in the international jobs market by leveling phil education system with world standard. Before K12, pinoy high school/college graduates are required to take additional studies before they be accepted in college in countries with higher education standards. Pinoy professionals like nurses used to take additional 2 years before they could practice in australia

He gave free vaccines to children affected by dreaded dengue disease. Although this program has been vilified resulted in the return of polio in the country and reluctance of people now to get vaccinated to deal with the pandemic and bring us back to normalcy. Had he been the president today, Pfizer ordered vaccines would be arriving much sooner compared to a president who shifted allegiance to china. More Filipinos would have been vaccinated by now. More saved, not all dead with more funds in the coffer to spare

And his most notable achievement is a strong economic growth that gave a lot of middle class opportunity to own a car

For your 6 years of service to the nation, SALAMAT ginoong pangulo. Naway masaya ka na sa piling ng iyong magulang

Sumalangit nawa ang iyong kaluluwa

I think it's this "article". Honestly, I have the same questions as this guy. What I can't fathom is why his family allowed him to skip 2 dialysis sessions. My Mom and I had an argument about it. I told my Mom, I don't care if my brother gets mad at me or hates me for it, but I am FORCING him to take a dialysis. I am not going anywhere until he gets the treatment he needs. I am sure they all know that a skipped dialysis session could mean death. I know very little about medicine and I am aware that the body will be poisoned if a person with kidney failure doesn't do dialysis. I was also shocked that the night before Pnoy died he requested for sinful foods for lunch (sisig, crispy pata and burger for lunch for someone whose kidney is failing?) Yun ang mahirap kasi he has no family with him and his staff cannot force him to do anything. Also, I don't know why he did not have a nurse checking on him every X number of hours knowing he is in bad shape?

Another thing I can't understand is why the cremation and short wake? I know it's none of my business pero kasi with Ninoy and Cory they allowed the public to see them one last time. I feel so bad because Pnoy was too young to die. If only a President could have 2 terms, I would have happily voted for him.

BTW I am against the MALICE in this article written by a Dutertard

WAS PNOY LEFT TO DIE?
By Jun Abines

The Yellows and Media are now starting their favorite game. Every story and statement about Pnoy's death is either aimed in making the current Administration look bad or painting the Yellows as the good guys.

But no one seems interested of knowing why and how Pnoy died. The man have serious renal problem and diabetes. But how come he was allowed to skip dialysis twice? How come no nurse or doctor attending him when his health status was very, very critical?

There was an interview of Pnoy's driver narrating what happened the night before up to the moment he was discovered dead on his chair. The story painted Pnoy's death as peaceful. But it ignored the fact that no health professional was present the very week Pnoy died.

Imagine yourself being a former President. You have several siblings and friends all super rich and powerful. You are very sick. Yet no one was there at your most critical moment of survival. No one cares to detail a nurse or doctor to look after you. No one checked if you were able to get the life-saving dialysis sessions. You died alone on your room. Sitting dead and cold on your chair all night. Only to be discovered next morning by a maid, a driver and bodyguard.

That was not a peaceful death. That was a tragic death for a rich and powerful former President. Thousands of flowers, songs of praises and eloquent eulogies on your tomb will not make up for it.

Where were his families? Where were his best friends? Where were the nuns, the priests and bishops? Where were these people people who showed him love and adorations in front of camera but were gone at his most vulnerable moments?

If someone only cared, Pnoy may still be breathing. Skipping two sessions of Dialysis is not an accident. No family member or health care professional would allow that to happen. No loving person would allow a very sick dear one in the hands of a maid, a driver and body guards.

And why did they cremate him immediately? Are they ashamed to let the world see how an uncared and abandoned dead Pnoy looked physically? Or was he dead along time ago ad some speculated?

The narrative that Pnoy died peacefully raise more questions than answers. His driver was interviewed on how he died instead of the attending Doctor who pronounced him dead. National disunity was blamed to have cause the death instead of failure to administer necessary medical care to the critically ill patient. They just don't add up. Fishy, fishy...fishy!

If any, Pnoy's death was a clear evidence what kind of people sorround him: Shady and Cunning. All greedy, hypocrites and selfish. He died the most painful death: Alone, Unloved and Left to Die.

It now appears a dead Pnoy was more useful than alive for his gimmick-hungry volture friends. They badly need a new political milleage for the fast coming Presidential elections.

To the very end, Pnoy was a victim of his very own Liberal Party's standard of Public service: PURE LIP SERVICE.

You can't force someone to take on a medical procedure. I don't like anti-vaxxers but at the end of the day its still their choice. You can educate them and entice them with benefits but you cannot put a gun to their heads to strap them down and cut them open. Walang doctor na gagawa niyan, kaya nga may consent forms eh.

The article sounds a lot like those conspiracy theories about then Sec. Jessie Robredo being killed in order to thrust the wife, now VP Leni into the limelight and in turn on the path to Malacanan. Which kind of looks like an episode taken from a Justice League Unlimited cartoon about the origin of the Terry Mcguinnis Batman.

"what do you wish the family to do? manhandle him to the dialysis center?"
heh heh.

not all dialysis patients are so utterly depend on frequent dialysis.
iba-iba ang level of necessity ng pasyente sa dialysis.

the guy is an adult. he can decide for himself.
and if what he wants is not in agreement with what we desire,
there is nothing we can do about it.

btw,
this alleged patient behavior is a common observation among chronic illness sufferers.

short lamay?
some folks want it short. some do not want to make a fuss. some do not want to inconvenience the others with a long wake. plus, there's covid.
my own relative, before covid, died friday. finis sunday.

last,
how sigurado are we, that the purported narration of events is the real truth?

Ang sabi daw was Pnoy wasn't feeling well kaya he was unable to attend 2 sessions, otherwise he may have just did, and I guess his body was already on the verge of shutting down at that time. As for the cremation and short wake, I guess the Aquino sisters were mindful of the COVID situation thus they had to push for the immediate laying to rest of Pnoy, otherwise he would have been lying in state at the Senate, HoR and Malacanang in accordance with tradition. Yung cremation, not necessarily dahil sa COVID pero iyun na ang naging decision ng magkakapatid. Anyway, better not to believe all that b.s. those jerks have been spreading over socmed, buhay pa si Pnoy they've been throwing crap at him for this, for that. Mas may credibility yung sinabi nung driver at nung kasambahay, since they've been with him at Times St. for over 40 years, buhay pa ang mga magulang niya noon.

[Papajamba]

The admin and the DDS are very much threatened now with the death of Pnoy kaya they have to destroy his image.

Eh kaya naging sikat itong admin dahil naghanap ng iba sa Pnoy admin. Puro yabang, mas tamad at mas palpak pa pala

Pnoy is very intelligent (and the people around him) I just find it shocking that they allowed him to skip dialysis when it could mean death, but yeah like Devastator said, his body could have been shutting down already. Pag naiisip ko kasi that he died alone in his chair nakaka depress Could his life have been extended if he were confined and got that transplant.

"what do you wish the family to do? manhandle him to the dialysis center?"

If I have to I would.

Just to clarify, I do NOT agree with the rest of the article, just the question I highlighted (on why he was allowed to skip dialysis and why the cremation and short wake)

Ang sabi daw was Pnoy wasn't feeling well kaya he was unable to attend 2 sessions, otherwise he may have just did, and I guess his body was already on the verge of shutting down at that time.

I definitely don't believe the other BS in the article. It's just that I have the same question (why he was allowed to skip 2 dialysis sessions and why he was cremated and buried abruptly)
